[Gimp-user] 'Pick a layer or guide' suggestion
I have a handful of Gimp images that have 50+ layers. With the move tool's 'Pick a layer or guide' selected, I can quickly find where a particular layer is in the stack with a left click. However, as soon as I let go of the mouse, I've lost where the layer is as the selected layer switches back to the layer that was selected prior. Now I have to remember about how far down the layer, remember the layer name and dig to find it so I can work on it. Wouldn't it make sense to have the layer you've just picked in this manner automatically become the selected layer? Opinions please.
